If you ever wondered why there are two "tracks" in the sound controller, it is because it allows you to have a background music file (midifiles are ideal) on one track and have additional playing sounds at the same time.
For example you could make a piano keyboard by adding notes sounds to images then add a Sound Link to a midifile - click the midifile and play along by clicking the images.
Or jungle animal noises on objects and a suitable theme in the backgound.
I made one with some sounds from Nasa and the theme from 2001 (a midifile) attached.
Many school music programs will save music as midifiles and there are literally thousands on the web if you do a search for "midifiles"
